...The hard disk I wish to clone is out of a Win 7 laptop & is being hooked up to (via USB) by an external disk case to my new Win 8 laptop. Does the different OS matter? Because the disk being cloned ("Disk A") is being cloned by a Win 8 pc, does that mean that I'll have Win 7 on my new laptop (utilizing the cloned disk) or what?
